A sewer line failure ranges from a root intrusion that responds to clearing, to a collapsed pipe section that requires physical repair. The difference between those scenarios โ and their costs โ is determined by a CCTV camera scope, not a guess. Masters Plumbing Service's sewer techs in Floresville, TX run the camera first, show you exactly what's there, and recommend the repair method that actually resolves the specific failure.

Sewer line repair is expensive enough that you need certainty about what you're repairing and why before any ground is disturbed. Our CCTV-first approach protects you from misdiagnosis and unnecessary excavation costs.
No legitimate contractor recommends trenchless lining or excavation without camera footage confirming the failure type and location. If someone quotes a sewer repair without a scope, that's a significant red flag.
For sewer lines with root intrusion, cracked joints, or minor pipe deformation that haven't fully collapsed, CIPP lining installs a structural epoxy sleeve inside the existing pipe without excavation. The liner seals every joint and resists future root infiltration.
Precise camera locating means we dig where the problem is, not speculatively. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint quality before we close out.
Sewer line repair in most TX jurisdictions requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and provide camera footage, repair documentation, and inspection sign-off as a complete job record.
Sewer line problems fall into distinct categories โ each with its own repair approach. Here's how we handle each one.
Root cutting is a temporary measure if joints remain open. After cutting, we assess whether CIPP lining to seal the entry points is warranted, or whether regular maintenance clearing is the right long-term plan.

CIPP lining works on pipes with cracks, root intrusion at joints, and minor deformation โ as long as the host pipe can maintain the liner during curing. We assess liner candidacy from camera footage before committing to this method.
New pipe โ typically SDR-35 PVC at code-specified depth and grade โ is installed with proper joint couplings, backfilled, and surface-restored. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint integrity.
Camera inspection reports are accepted by real estate attorneys, home buyers, and insurers as documented evidence of drain system condition. If you're buying or selling a home in Floresville, a pre-purchase drain scope is one of the best investments you can make.

The immediate goal of an emergency sewer call is stopping the backup. The camera and permanent repair follow once the situation is contained. We don't leave you with just a cleared drain and no plan for next steps.
A maintenance record documenting each cleaning and camera finding is useful evidence for insurance claims and demonstrates proactive maintenance if a catastrophic failure occurs.
No guessing, no speculative excavation. Every sewer repair we do in Floresville, TX starts with camera footage and ends with a documented, inspected result.
Tell our dispatcher what you're experiencing โ backed-up fixtures, gurgling drains, sewage smell โ so we arrive prepared with the right equipment.
We push the camera from the cleanout and run the full line to the municipal connection or septic tank, recording footage with distance markers. Blockage location, pipe material, joint condition, deformation, and grade issues are all documented.
For trenchless vs. excavation decisions, we lay out cost difference, disruption difference, and long-term outcome expectation for each option so you can make an informed choice.
Required permits are closed out with the local inspection. You receive camera footage, written scope report, permit inspection sign-off, and warranty documentation.
Had a sewer problem that two other companies cleared without scoping. It backed up again within 8 weeks both times. Masters Plumbing Service scoped before doing anything and found a significant pipe belly at 34 feet holding standing water โ that's why clearing kept failing. They excavated precisely, replaced a 4-foot section, confirmed grade on camera after backfill. No recurrence.
We bought an older home in Floresville and wanted the sewer scoped before closing. Masters Plumbing Service ran the full line, found an offset joint at 58 feet creating a partial obstruction and some root infiltration at three additional joints. Written report in hand, we negotiated a $4,200 repair credit from the sellers before closing. The scope paid for itself many times over.
Tree roots had invaded our sewer line every year for six years. Annual clearing costs were adding up. Masters Plumbing Service scoped, confirmed the root entry points, and lined the 70-foot residential run. No roots at the 18-month re-scope. The liner sealed every joint the roots had been using.
